FYI - RH 7.3 xinetd patch breaks nrpe bash scripts

[Cook, Garry]

This has completely screwed up my MRTG implementation on a RH 7.1 box.
I'm currenlty limping along by running a script from cron every 5
minutes to restart the MRTG daemon if it cannot find it. I can't figure
out why the daemon dies out and I end up with zombies. 
I'm thinking about backing out of the up2date update, but haven't had a
need to do so in the past and I'm not sure how difficult that will be.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

I should have known better than to trust in such a 'windows-like'
feature.
